Elgin cops catch suspect in attack on two disabled women

Elgin police have arrested a 26-year-old man they believe is responsible for an attack on two mentally disabled women.

The man, who was on parole for past offenses, was captured about 2:30 p.m. Thursday in an apartment in the first block of North Lyle Avenue, according to Lt. Glenn Theriault.

The 26-year-old was wanted in an attack overnight Wednesday in which police say he knocked on the door of two mentally disabled women living in the 1600 block of Maple Street, forced his way into the home and attacked them.
